Readers -
This verse has some personal info in it from my past, that the Lord kind of resurrected, and I feel is pertinent to share.
read this first for some important background on the number 3390 and Genesis 5

Bible verse 3390, Leviticus 22:20, has some interesting things in it - not the least of which is two direct and east to find, references to the father and son duo, Jared and Enoch. It also has a resurrected word from God to me, a rebuke actually, that dates back to November 1997, before the visitation began.
Leviticus 22:20
"But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you."
word by word breakdown is here:

Running gematria totals DOWN from word one through word eight =
1455
Enoch greek gematria = 1455
Running gematria totals from UP from word twelve through word eight =
527
Jared's age when Enoch is "taken" = 527
straight forward enough - though unusual. same target word produces two numbers known to be related people and numbers.
Due to this evidence, and wanting to go further - I employed a new method on this verse for study. It has only three words in it in the Strong's list, so I tried it.
The Strong's hebrew numbers are
3971 h
7126 h
7522 h
The meanings of the words are not involved in this.
add all three words Strong's numbers together:
3971 + 7126 + 7522 = 18,619
go to Bible verse number 18,619 which is:
Isaiah 48:4
"Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;..."
I was really stunned to see this verse come up, because I know this verse from my past.
Way in the distant past, during a prayer service, I had a good friend/brother in the Lord ask me, "Clay, do you know where there are any huge bronze doors?" "Yes, I actually do", I replied. He continued" God is going to open these doors for you sometime in the future."
This matched a passage of scripture the Lord had given prophetically me back in the early 1980's which is:
Isaiah 45:2-3
"I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel."
I never knew what the scripture meant for me, but when this brother said that to me, I really paid attention. I was confident that it meant God had good things for me in the future. Both this brother and his wife really loved God, and all kinds of supernatural stuff from God happened when they were around.
In November of 1997, during a quiet time with the Lord, in a very small room, He showed me that the "treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places" were what the Father had in the Holy of Holies, and He referenced Matthew 6:6
"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."
Which I thought was awesome (!) and I wrote this down in the margins of my Bible, and dated it 11/97. My continued prayer time with Him, though, took a unexpected turn. I began to read in Isaiah, and got to a certain verse.
Bible verse 18,619
Isaiah 48:4
"Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;..."
... which was a stern REBUKE to me from the Lord - and it was all true. I WAS obstinate and stubborn. so, the Lord used the same imagery of the verse of promise (Isaiah 45:2-3) and rebuked me with it in Isaiah 48:4 - and rightly so. At that time I did have those things going on. anyway, I promptly repented for that stuff (still repenting for that stuff), and I wrote that ALSO in my Bible and dated it 11/97.
Shortly thereafter, the visitation started on day 339, December 5, 1997 and I found myself standing under a waterfall from God, which was the "treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places" God had for me from the promise. I needed a good rebuke though.
Psalm 42:7
"Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: all thy waves and thy breakers are gone over me.
The Bible number material (like at the top) that came out of that subsequent encounter is still being revealed according to His will. His emphasis being on Strong's numbers and Jared, plus all the other miraculous, supernatural events you can read about here:

I will only add the following about Isaiah 48:4
The running gematria total of the first seven words of this verse =
